Haruhi-chan 15 – 18: This is real subbing

FAIL-O-METER
Well, I can’t say it’s good.  The failure here is tougher to swallow than swallowing a square foot of beef jerky whole.

Instead of looking at the episodes, I’m just going to make fun of the subtitles because that’s easier and I’m lazy.

I know it’s supposed to sound complicated and “ambitious” (quoting Kyon there), but I doubt it’s supposed to be unintelligible.

Simple, nutritious, healthy… okay, I understand so far.

“fresh-rich-lite”… Uh.  Hmmn.  What exactly is this supposed to mean?
Fresh is fresh.
Rich… as in creamy?
Lite.  Uh… low-calorie?

So fresh-rich-lite combined = fresh, creamy, and low-calorie?
Why are these three words strung together?!

There.

These are only cooked for appropriate time.  Indeed.

aka “It helps you slash whatever you want”

…wait, that’s it?  That’s the end of the sentence?

You’d think that there would be a “he is” at the end…

You’re wrong there, Mikuru-chan.  More like “Talk in English please.”

I have no clue what this crap is supposed to mean.

Depriving judgments from a prey by affecting its consciousness

Okay, so it takes away judgments from the prey by invading its mind.

So… the prey can’t make judgments anymore?  Is that how it is?

Capture and command for it to care for the tree

So it captures prey and makes the prey care for the tree!?!?

Does that mean it controls the prey’s brain?

till its body rots and get absorbed.

Okay, so this thing enslaves things to care for a tree until they die.

First of all, what tree?
There ain’t no stinking tree specified.

Next, what the hell is the red thing?
We know that it enslaves animals and stuff, but what is it, a seed?

Finally, Yuki throws and destroys it.
If it’s that fragile, wouldn’t you think that it’d have some kind of defense mechanism, or that it enslaved Kyon, Tsuruya, and Mikuru?
Can it even move?  If not, then wouldn’t it have been destroyed long ago?

Bah.

No, you requested two helps.

No, no, I don’t think that’s the problem here, Kyon.

Via Wikipedia, a booby is a “slang term for ‘idiot’ or ‘foolish person.'”

Yeah, well… I don’t think people nowadays use “booby” to describe idiots.
Not only that, but doesn’t the context of “booby” in the screenshots make you think that they’re trying to describe “a clumsy person” instead of “an idiot?”

I see.  Aren’t you a booby.

Here, booby is a noun.

She flew without a parachute.  That’s beyond booby!

Here, it’s an adjective.

 

…

Damn boobies.

Yes, such is this post.
